One thing to note about the US is how large it is. Any disaster that could effect as much of the US, percentage wise, as Japan is being effected now would also be absolutely huge-- talking meteor, here-- which would effect much of the rest of the wo…
Ok, I assumed too much and was/am wrong about the extent of redundancy in even such frivious services. More thinking on the matter has brough up another point, though. The servers are only a thing and much pre-planning can go into them; let me ask a…
I'm pretty incredulous. I looked up EVE's server, and you're right. I guess I misremembered 'the largest in gaming' as the largest privately owned... Though I would've sworn I heard that from somewhere.
In any case, I don't buy that the a tota…
My point was and is that it's a collosal waste of money to have a full set of back-up servers fully capable of running a live service on the off chance a major disaster will hit. Again, this is not a mission critical service. I'm sure SE has back-up…
A lot of fucking stupid people in this thread... Remind me never to let anyone in IT be in charge of money; I guess that's why software development houses have such a high failure rate.
Suggesting that SE have dupulicate servers somewhere else in …
I can't believe I'm in the position of defending Playonline and it's billing system(they suck), but wow! what an ass!
The problem you're experiencing is likely due to the fact that S/E had no idea how to set up a billing system when they made FFXI…
I'm just a lurker who happened upon this thread due to the front page forum crawl and got entranced by the silliness of it.
My point is that it is pathetic both that an arguement sprouted up due to such an obvious troll and that the arguement was …
Forget all your reasons. I have a much more petty reason I won't be getting it, and I definitely would have, otherwise(I buy everything, but have no loyalty): They IP block you from their site if you don't enter a 'reasonable' date in one of those s…
I think FFXIV will be to WoW as FFXI was to EQ. With the difference being that rather than take the difficulty and most of the mechanics from it while designing their own interface; they'll take the interface and accessibility elements from WoW and …
Uh... You all do realize that the real EQ2 was released about the same time as what they call EQ2 was released, right? It goes under the name of FFXI.
FFXI is pretty much what a lot of you are/were asking for: EQ mechanics and difficulty with a gr…
The OP is asking a stupid question akin to 'is WoW a hardcore action game?'. The only people who might've thought Dragon Age would be an open ended RPG were people who spend more time waiting for games than playing them.
I will restrain myself and not comment on your usage of the word 'failure'. But! I'll happily answer your question as to why CoX did/has done so well and CO, maybe, not so much(maybe).
CoX was the first comic/super hero MMO to market and it was a …
I think you're being far too negative. I started two-boxing over a week ago and have already 'soloed' the first limit break quest(I'm addicted). The hardest part was the liches, but they weren't too bad-- fortunately I chose /nin as my tank's subjob…
I just started playing last week, after having tried it when it first came out in NA(Most of my complaints have been addressed, which I'm going to post about).
I've tried Phoenix, Shiva and Titan and all three had very good population. As far as S…
I have an E8400 and it's well over a year old at this point... I still play everything that comes out maxed out.
CPU isn't my limiting factor, it's GPU, and I don't see that changing any time soon. Unless money is totally not an issue, take the ex…

Why does it matter? Sometimes coming the right conclusion for the wrong reason is an important distinction and matters. This is not one of those times.
I'm going to give the people who are defending tasos a little hint. Your arguments fly a huge flag which says either 'I'm in school' or 'I live in my mothers' basement'.
